NOLA girls- king cake recipe?
In an attempt to restore normalcy to my life, I've decided to make a Mardi Gras dinner tonight. I'm likely being overly ambitious, but I haven't cooked or baked anything in a week. Hell, I haven't done anything requiring physical ambition (it caused an MS relapse the other day when I was out too long)
Well, since it's Fat Tuesday, I wanted to make the traditional King Cake dessert. I had a recipe that I've lost somewhere in the move. Online, I'm either finding recipes that require 8 hours to rise, or look overly dry, or yeild too much. Any fave recipes?
Re: NOLA girls- king cake recipe?
I've never had a king cake and I don't even think I know what this is..
Hope you're feeling better.
It's yummy. That the basics of it.
As for feeling better, every day just feels worse. I know it'll get better, I'm just waiting for when
My recipe is to call my mom and have her ship me one up, LOL!
I know you can make them out of canned cinnamon rolls which may work for tonight. I would assume you can just google "quick king cake recipe" and something will pop up with cinnamon rolls.
My recipe involved my husband driving the 1 hour and 20 minutes to NOLA two days in a row to get the King Cake that I haven't had in 5 years haha so I am no help.
Are you on Pinterest? I know some of us have pinned some (although this is Wednesday so now I'm not really a help)
I've made the canned cinnamon rolls version before. You just unroll each roll, cut it into three strips, then braid the strips, then connect the two ends creating a circle. Bake as usual, frost with icing and sprinkle purple, green, and gold sugar on top. Certainly not fancy, but quick and easy and cute little individual cakes. I made these to take to a parade once because they were single serving and easy to carry and eat.
Last year J made a king cake using a John Folse recipe. I did a quick google search and this looks like what he used (he used a recipe from a JF cookbook). Only 2.5 hrs, not 8.
